This is just a thought and meant to be funny at the expense of the people who put that sign up. If Expats did all leave then over the next few decades Bermudians will have this next little problem on their hands which make me believe the idiots who hung that sign up are not very forward thinking.

Hey good Idea get rid of all the Expats then the gene pool will really get sketchy. I like the idea that if Expats all go home then the person who hung that sign their children's kids will only have themselves to procreate with and therefore genetically speaking they will have offspring who will suffer mental and physical deformities over time (again not meant to be mean just a fact of genetics). Anyone ever watched the X-Files episode of the mother who lived under the bed and had children with her three sons (meant to be funny). Then Expats will have to come back to work in the hospitals to look after the retards who support that mentality (again meant to be funny). I'm all for it Expat go home!

Well, even if foreigners don't come to Bermuda, Bermudians can go overseas... hmm... so, lemme get this straight. Bermudians are entitled to live & work in, say, UK... but resent foreigners coming to Bermuda?

I did see that, Charlie... sad. Apparently, part of the grudge is that expats take all the best parking spots, making Bermudians get parking tickets. Therefore the write thinks slashing their tyres is appropriate. Considering it uses words such as 'look like' and 'sound like' it would seem that race is a prime motivator in this.

Do you know - fancied Bermuda this year for a holiday so I started looking into the island - shame to find out that it's full of lucky locals with full access to Britain - and in return to be so small minded as to begrudge a population of ex-pats who bring money, yet seem entitled to nothing - same old same old!

MG - don't be put off by what you have read above, a very small portion of the island is as poisenous as the editor of the pamphlet. If you're looking for a holiday where you can chill totally but don't mind paying the high prices then Bermuda is for you.

Hi, i'm a brit living in Portugal, my sister lives in Bermuda, about 3 years now and over the last year or so i've heard about this bad feeling and poster stories - stumbled across this site recently and yes, it makes me laugh - spent about an hour cracking up at a forum about 'big bums' and Bermudan dietary habits - was such a cat fight....but it's a shame there is such animosity between the two 'sides'...you think they are all thick and lazy and they think you are all arrogant and rich...maybe a bit of truth on either side in comparative terms but god, on such a small island must be a nightmare. Anyway, my sis has decided to leave the island, she is touring Europe and then ending up with me, in Portugal at the end of this year..CAN'T WAIT!! I hate to think of her wasting her time in such a place, sounds very over priced and overated to me. But, for the rest of you who are left there (whichever side you are on)..try and enjoy it - or vote with your feet...plenty other places in the world..xx

Flyers have been hung up around the hospital telling expat nurses and medical staff to go home!! As we are vampires and vultures. If we did this would leave around 10 qualified Bermudian nurses. Jesus could you imagion they'd have to do nights, work bank holidays and god forbid not go too church as there'd be no one to work Sat or Sun. Actually they'd have to get up off their fat arses and do something. They'd no longer be managers as there would be no one to manage. this is a good thing as none of them currently have the qualification or experience to manage themselves let alone more experienced or higher educated nurses. The hospital strives to be a center of excellance, and gold standards, to the rest of the world it a DUMP!! So maybe the flyer hangers are right as working in a third world dump is not that good for a CV. Although for my next job I will argue that working in the third world has boarden my professional experince and made me more greatful for the hospital falicates that we take for granted in first world countries. I could after I leave start a charity to help KEMH, but I'm not going to, I'll just tell me mates never too work there!!!!

with respect to an earlier comment on the what if's of the expats leaving and the gene pool getting smaller.
my response is this; we see the effects of a small gene pool now!!!! its not something that WILL happen. It is something that HAS happened!!!!!!!!!!!
